#these are not all from the onion

[crimsonclad]

I keep seeing Takes about how recent media like Glass Onion and The Menu aren’t taking “eat the rich” seriously enough to launch real change or revolution and like?? yeah??? popular crowd-pleasing entertainment where horrible rich people Suffer A Comeuppance for the pleasure of an audience is one of the oldest tropes in all of human history???? It is a crowd pleaser! It is the bread (ha) and butter of the Western canon! It is in Chaucer it is in Dante it is in Shakespeare it is the stuff of Dickens and 95% of Agatha Christie and almost every teen movie ever made??????? “look at these horrible rich idiots and hypocrites…and now enjoy their DESTRUCTION” transcends time and space and historical moments! It is so strange to be surprised that Hollywood returns to this well without any intention of seeking anything more transgressive than an audience having a hearty chuckle lmao

#it would be great if we could all walk away from Omelas but expecting billion dollar studios to lead the charge seems a bit misguided #spoilers #kinda but not really more than the trailers tell you #the menu #glass onion #Norton Anthology of Literature #etc #Clue! #The Sting! #now I’m just naming movies I’ve watched this week

In Knives Out Blanc wanted to do the murder mystery investigation with Marta so bad, but she was certain she was guilty so she spent a good amount of the movie avoiding/hiding stuff from him

Meanwhile in Glass Onion Helen was fucking carrying the investigation, even while accidentally getting drunk, and even went to investigation lengths Blanc was hesitant to do

#knives out #glass onion #ko: marta actively ruins evidence due to her perceived guilt. blanc knew the entire time she was innocent or ill intent #go: helen fucking diving forward to eavesdrop on duke/miles/whiskey better. helen tossing a tape recorder in birdie's bag. helen listening #in on lionel & claires freak out at the pool. helen did all the research on her sisters journals to get as into the role as possible #marta only standing up for her rightful inheritance at the end after everything vs helen down to ruin those shitheads from the start #i love these movies & the duality in the chars/victims & how it ends. marta gets the house. helen burns miles' down. its just!!!!! AHHH #i just rewatched knives out again so i can rewatch glass onion again tomorrow. im so normal about this series #tc posts #*of ill intent gdi. tumblr mobile let me edit tags

rian johnson took all that time, put in all that effort to make glass onion a fantastic period piece to the first four months of pandemic, a prescient narrative that anticipates the stupidity of rich billionaires, and then pulled the rug from under us because the world of benoit blanc just straight up doesn't have the mona lisa anymore

#Some geniuses in the notes are talking about how it wasn't the real mona lisa #And I'm editing my tags because tumblr is a website with minimal reading comprehension #But the POINT is that he went through all that effort to make the world canon complaint with ours #Only to DESTROY a cultural artefact real or not #Having massive political implications for the world #And that's what I was pointing out. Here and in another reblog that presumably no one will care to fish out #It's in the replies for those looking #Anyway I hope rian johnson makes ten of these without the mona lisa #Also as a side note. So many movies have ignored covid #Not this man. He's like no we'll include it. But if we divert from canon reality #We're going to destroy the mona lisa #Love that for him. Icon #hello void this is ridiculosity #knives out #glass onion

"They didn't actually burn the Mona Lisa, the real one is made of wood, not paper, like in the film!! Of course they wouldnt have given miles bron the real one!!"

Yeah...they didn't burn the real Mona Lisa...because it's a movie. Another thing is that paper might just look better than wood when it burns on film. Not only that, but it's very realistic that miles would have obtained the real one. Rich people buy one of a kind, priceless art all the time, just because they believe they have that right.

Also, in the context of the film, it had to be the real Mona Lisa; Helen's plan wouldn't work if it turned out to be a fake. Miles would never always be mentioned in the same breath as the Mona Lisa if the real one didn't burn.

I'm sorry if this makes people uncomfortable but in the Rian Johnson cinematic universe, the real Mona Lisa has been reduced to ashes.

#glass onion spoilers #glass onion #knives out #sorry but the mona lisa is gone in that world #helens actions wouldnt be impactful at all if it turns out to be a fake #that would completely take away from the point the movie was trying to make #birdy chirps

Okay but given that you can make alcohol from just about any plant, a world built around Minecraft could have SUCH a liquor cabinet.

You’ve got your basics, the potato and wheat vodka, gin, whiskey, then rum from sugarcane or beet sugar if you’re feeling a little adventurous.

Then you’ve got the fancier things. Dandelion and melon wine, spike vodka, pumpkin liqueur, applejack. Zhuyeqing jiu and chocolate liquor if you REALLY want to go for the cool stuff.

You’ve got mead and all kinds of moonshine, everything from carrots to kelp to sawdust brandy if you live out in the Badlands. Sunflower and rose spirits, lilac wine, even milk liquor and advocaat if you want to deviate from plants a bit.

But then you’ve got the plants that don’t exist in our sphere.

Chorus liqueur, dripleaf absinthe, glowberry champagne and sweet berry wine, glow lichen beer and crème de spore blossom, golden apple cider, glistering cordial. For the truly danger-seeking, wither rose lanique.

#minecraft #worldbuilding #alcohol tw #that's not even going into the FLAVORS you can add!!! #mushrooms and shroomlights in beer #nether wart maybe as a common flavoring #all kinds of cocktails and stuff #you've got different woods for barrels too #and allium is technically onion so #that's a WHOLE new can of flavors there #fun fact as i was researching this i found out there's an alcohol made from carrots that's just called C #we should do more with carrots seriously #also also lichens were used to make beer historically! #it was a brief stint but it's possible #also sawdust brandy. that's actually from an old loz project #i was trying to look up what kinds of alcohol would be possible in a decaying world like lorule #and sawdust brandy was up there #edit: if people are seeing this version where kefir is replaced #yes kefir is (minorly) alcoholic #you can fail a dui test if you have enough of it #in the same sense that poppy seed muffins can make you fail an opium test #if your tolerance is super low you CAN get buzzed off it #however #I put it on the list initially to have something milk-based for alcohol #it was originally kumis which is stronger #but it’s mare milk and you can’t get milk from horses in minecraft #I have since replaced it with milk liquor because 1. lithuania somehow has done it #and 2. china made vodka out of milk??????? #the site called it lai jiu but I can’t find anywhere else calling it that #so milk liquor it is!

Highlights of Glass Onion

1-Daniel Craig’s terrible southern accent

2-Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc playing Among Us in his bathtub again Angela Lansbury and Stephen Sondheim

3-“it’s so dumb”“It’s so dumb it’s brilliant”“No! It’s just dumb”

4-literally the whole movie is about how dumb Elon Musk is. Also Zuckerberg. And whoever the fuck the other billionaire is. But also definitely Elon Musk.

4-Benoit Blanc is so clearly gay in such a casual way I love it

5-Janelle Monáe

6-The very clear messaging of ‘you will never take down a person like this through the legal ways so just beat the shit out of them until something gives’

7- everyone is clearly having the time of their lives making this movie

#glass onion #truly a delight #as good as knives out? #no but still a delight #it is so damn good at understanding the tropes of the genre #and leaning into them enough to make it work before twisting them enough to keep things fresh #and it does it in a different way from knives out #knives out says ‘you know whodunnit - and you want them to get away with it’ then throws that last twist in #glass onion says ‘this is the most fucking transparent plot but you won’t believe that because you want it to be complex and layered’ #and you nod right along because despite the fact that the title tells you precisely how simple this plot is #you still expect layers of onion to be peeled back to reveal something new #it’s freaking amazing #and then a billionaire gets his house blown up because he’s an idiot #also that’s a very nice and controlled fire I’m very glad they’re not all dead

I think there's one area that I thought Glass Onion was better than Knives Out and it's the dynamics between the rich shitheads. Knives Out had a family of a bunch of rich assholes who, even if they cared about each other, were stuck together because they were family.

A group of rich assholes who are friends and stick together both because they're friends and have a history prior to them becoming rich and successful, and because they're all dependent on their one rich biggest asshole friend, who will stab you in the back for their own interests but are still friends in a weird fucked up way is way more interesting to me.

#they will betray each other if they have to they're stuck together because of miles but there's also the history there from before #they hate each other they love each other they're rivals they're besties they have a history theyre stuck together out of their control #they fight all the time they're in cahoots they have each other's numbers saved they HAVE to stick together theyll drop you in a snap #glass onion spoilers #knives out glass onion #glass onion #knives out #i'm saying stuff

Thinking about the GO kiss (of course) and how that strange versatility of the pairing in general extends also to this. The fandom’s grief is so universal because each person sees in it exactly what will hurt them the most.

To this aromantic, Crowley’s desperate gesture looks like: “is this what you want? Will this make us real to you? If I show you I love you in the right way, the human way, will I finally matter enough for you to stay with me?”

#gos2spoilers #good omens #good omens meta #idk if this is really meta #it’s just a thorn I wanted to extricate from my chest #and of course the point of this post is that all interpretations are valid—I hope I don’t have to put that in later #I always get so nervous about aro stuff in fandom #but I have what they used to call a nervous disposition #prescribe me some sea air #balancing my humors by letting out the angst #Aromantic #the hot dog did this #onion’s nighttime thoughts

#zeno's art #ocs #original characters #reassassination #dr savory #octavia #emery onion reliquary #lets go over their designs!!!! yay!!!!! #starting with savory - a lot has changed but not that much #he's far taller and lankier than he was before and his hair is darker purple underneath rather than green #those were just cosmetic changes to bring more personality to his silhouette and improve focus on his face #otherwise - the shape of the hair highlight changed (from ovals to an X) as did the shoes (no more broken chain on his boot 💔) #and also i tried to make his face look older because he looked out of place compared to other characters around his age #really just small changes. his design is quite simple so there isnt much to majorly overhaul #for octavia once again there are both many and not that many changes #shes spiker than ever her face shape changed and so did the shape of her limbs #also those weird little red thingies on her hair are gone. never actually liked them that much #also i just wanna say - octavia's skirt has an X on it to signify that savory made it because all his stuff has X's also #onion had the most changes. most importantly - they do not have a nose anymore #(thats just stylisation dont worry they have a nose) #but anyway their shapes have become more defined and they have freckles now!!! yay!!!! #god i really dont have much to say do i . ummmm these are the final designs and most likely the ones that will show up in the actual comic #when i finally write past chapter 1 o_o #ok bye sorry for all that waffle #i also drew up some other designs but they're spoilers

scrolling trying to find all the details of the predesterone ban has got me feeling like beniot blanc finding layer upon layer of shitty behavior but knowing the dickwad ceo was at fault from the very beginning

#glass onion #seriously i hope someone is compiling things because a) it is a confusing situation when you decipher from brief post out if chronological #order and b) if he's willing to nuke her blog why wouldn't he just nuke all the blacklash too #knives out #benoit blanc #yes i referenced one of the top blorbos so news could spread

Speaking as someone who loves Dungeon Meshi and usually watches subbed anime?

Watch the dub instead.

#Dungeon Meshi #Normally I'm somewhat of a subs purist but the subs for the Japanese language version are fucking atrocious #They basically removed all of the jokes - ALL of them #The dub meanwhile has everything from the “man eating onions” joke to Senshi mentioning something gives you the runs #And I KNOW they've got to still be there in the actual Japanese language because they wouldn't just rewrite shit wholesale #Especially to be LESS FUNNY #Also it has my man Sungwon Cho in it you go Sungwon Cho #Shit Terry Says
